I'm beginning to plan the build-up of a pre-crossflow Ford race engine, and
I'd appreciate advice and anecdotes as to a good spec to build to. I have,
as a core, a brand new Ford 116E service engine, never run and fully dressed.
What can I keep, what do I thow away? Can I use the crank and rods? Who
does good pre-crossflow heads? Can I do the head myself and get a good result?
What bore/stroke combinations work well? What rev's should I build for,
what life can I expect? I can run the engine as big as I like, the car was
originally run in the 2 litre class in Canada.
Who makes good intake manifolds, and are they critical? I'll be running
dual 40 webers.
I guess what I'm looking for is where the 'sweet spot' in pre-crossflow ford
engines is...
Thanks, brian
